DRUG CARTELS REPRESENT REAL DANGER FOR U.S.
Since 9/11, America has been obsessed with keeping Americans safe
from terrorism. But we have developed tunnel vision in seeing these
threats as originating from the Mideast.
Our leaders have shown very little interest or concern over the
looming threat from our border with Mexico. We have been constantly
bombarded with reports of chaos, death and destruction caused by the
Mexican drug cartels. Do we think that all of this will remain within
the borders of Mexico? With millions of legal and illegal aliens
residing here in the U.S., can we not imagine that these cartels will
see the advantages of having bases in many U.S. cities? It looks as
if our government (busy looking east), does not see the tsunami
coming from the south.
